San Giusto a Rentennano Chianti Classico 2012




I dedicate these mouthwatering sips to those - few, I assume - they never had a chance, or better, the luck, to get in touch with this Chianti Classico, that most classic you cannot.
In this bowl - blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% of Canaiolo – you can find a lot of quality and Tuscany to the core.

The nose attacks still fresh and tangy, with the fraction fruity - orange and cherry, raspberry and strawberry - occupying nasal grasslands, interrupted, so to speak, by classic spice and minerals raids, combined with hints of underbrush.

The speech does not vary on the palate, although the "weights" distribution changes and, in recognizing greater value to minerals and also floral aspects - violet and pink - relocates the pleasant fruit expression within a more balanced picture.

The acid-tannic element is fully inserted, within a sip, which not only demonstrates cleaning of aromas, but also complexity and draw length.
Glass by glass, I find myself, with an empty bowl, but stamped, consistently, by touches of red orange, tobacco and cinnamon.
